Ashwell At Home 2014

Sunday 11 May

By Nicki Holmes

'Ashwell at Home' has been held on the second Sunday in May every year since 1983 and 2014 is the 31st Anniversary of this popular event.

It was started to fund the first extension of the Ashwell Village Museum and since then has helped fund a further extension. Now the profits go towards the running costs of the museum but are also shared with St Mary's Church and Ashwell Primary School.

Although gardens are the main attraction the village is covered with a wealth of amusing, entertaining, informative, interesting and refreshing events which make for a packed afternoon with something for all the family.

The next 'Ashwell at Home' will be on Sunday 11 May 2014, from 12noon until 6pm

The event will start with the unveiling of the new village sign at 12noon
